Vanessa Redgrave, Melanie Laurent and Bruno Ganz are joining the cast of new movie Night Train to Lisbon.

The new thriller is being made by Bille August and it was already confirmed that Jeremy Irons would star.

According to Variety, Christopher Lee, Jack Huston, Lena Olin and Martina Gedeck will also appear in the movie, which is based on the book by Pascal Mercier.

It has been written by Ulrich Herrmann and Greg Latter and follows the story of a Swiss professor who finds a book by a Portuguese author that makes him leave his old life behind in search of the writer.

A bit more info about Mélanie’s new American movie “Now You See Me” has been released as the cast continues to solidify. I’d assumed she would be one of the magicians, but she’s actually going to play one of the agents tracking them down, alongside Mark Ruffalo.

Mark Ruffalo is set to star as the leader of a team of FBI agents who are investigating the Four Horsemen, a squad of the world’s greatest illusionists who pull off a series of daring bank heists during their performances, then shower the profits on their auds. Jesse Eisenberg will play the arrogant yet brilliant leader of the Four Horsemen, while Morgan Freeman and Melanie Laurent co-star as an ex-magician and a federal agent, respectively.

Fisher is in talks to play Henley, a master technician who builds contraptions to aid in the illusion of the heists.

I’ve added some new film stills and a new set still from Mélanie’s upcoming full-length as both star and director, “Les Adoptés”. No trailer or teaser trailer yet, but it’s not released til November so I expect it’ll be a while before we do. Enjoy!

I also spotted a new project that hasn’t made its way to IMDb yet. Apparently Mélanie will film a part in a film written by her ex-boyfriend Julien Boisselier called “Notoriété publique”. It will be director Karim Ada’s first full length and the other actors attached include Julien and Julie Ferrier. More info hopefully to come! A bit of investigation reveals it’s due to begin filming this autumn.

I’m eating my words, it seems! Mélanie has joined the film “Now You See Me”, as it was previously reported here that she’d been offered a part. Jake Gyllenhaal passed on the project, but I trust Mélanie’s judgment if she wants to be part of it. Read more below.

EXCLUSIVE: Melanie Laurent is in negotiations for the female lead in Summit’s magician-heist pic “Now You See Me.”

Louis Leterrier (“Clash of the Titans”) will direct with Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt penning the script.

Jesse Eisenberg will star, as Variety first reported June 8. Jake Gyllenhaal was also circling the project at one point, but passed.

Story revolves around FBI agents tracking a group of illusionists and magicians who pull off bank heists during their performances and shower money on the audience.

Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci will produce through their Kurtzman Orci Paper Products banner. Yakin and Bobby Cohen are exec producing.

Erik Feig, Summit’s President of Production; Michael Schaefer, Summit’s Senior Vice President of Acquisitions and Co-Productions; and Ashley Schlaifer, Summit’s Creative Executive, will oversee the project for the studio.

Best known for her role in “Inglourious Basterds,” Laurent can currently be seen in the Focus Features pic “Beginners” starring Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer.
